Long-Term Simulation of Thermal Regime of Missouri River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Riverine water temperature extremes have typically been analyzed using event-based simulations, for example the 10-year 7-day low flows, combined with record-high air temperatures and other extreme conditions relevant to ...
Floodplain Mapping Using Continuous Hydrologic and Hydraulic Simulation Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new approach for estimating floodplain limits using continuous-simulation modeling is proposed. A hydraulic model with flood-routing capabilities is coupled with a continuous-simulation hydrologic model to compute river ...
How Does the Record July 1996 Illinois Rainstorm Affect Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimates?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The probable maximum precipitation (PMP), an estimate of the upper limit to storm rainfall, is determined using a catalog of extreme rainstorms. The effect of a recent extreme rainstorm—the northeastern Illinois storm of ...
Trilateration as Basis for Radial Staking
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: If a perimeter control network is established on a construction site, electronic distance measuring equipment can be used to determine the positions on the site of points to be used in building layout. Radial surveying ...
